Miriam Margolyes lives off High Street

The biggest laughs are always those that are unexpected
I adore Belly laughs
They are a rarity, to be sure
But when they start, you are often left chuckling for the rest of the day.

Yesterday, as I walked the dogs around the village, I spied a lady I know, to say hello to.
She is a rotund, slightly breathless elderly Welsh lady, who is not in the best of health, but she is friendly, always polite and generally portrays the perfect public picture of cheerfulness.
She looks like a bespectacled Miriam Margolyes
Today this lady, who I shall call Betty swayed her way from her small house and after many laboured steps, banged in a rather irritating way on her next door neighbour's window.
The neighbour obviously was not in and sighing loudly, Betty stood in the street and muttered at her absent neighbour
"SILLY FUCKER!"
To me (who knows both Betty and her neighbour) it was as funny as it was unexpected
and I burst into huge helpless chuckles right in the middle of the street.
Betty then caught me laughing and with a grin.joined in
"I'm glad I made your day!" she called over eventually

I will leave you with the real potty mouthed Mz Margolyes
Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh very good, John! Loved the video clip. I really enjoy Graham Norton, he makes me laugh (and cringe a little sometimes.) It's interesting to see how his celebrity guests respond to him. Some don't "get him" at all! Miriam obviously does! By the way, Stephen Fry tells a funny (and rude) story about Miriam in his autobiography.

I absolutley LOVE Miriam Margoyles and your village sound- a- like is certainly an asset to Trelawnyd I think. One needs to laugh everyday and I try to.......and, I travel on the tube just hoping for such an experience !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! haha. XXXX
